Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Doppler ultrasound scan will be performed to determine the Velocity and artery diameter of the Carotid and superficial femoral artery. Further carotid and superficial femoral artery endothelial shear stress will be measured. A 7 TO 15 MHz multi-frequency linear array probe attached to a high resolution doppler machine will be used to note the readings obtained.Timepoint: During 0th hours,2nd hours and 4th hours of examination will be conducted in the duration of three weeks.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
With the help of lnquisit licensed software the collected data of cognitive functions will be measured with Eriksen flanker test (Inhibition reaction time and accuracy for the Flanked and Non Flanked stimuli)N Back memory test (working memory,reaction times and accuracy for the stimuli)Timepoint: During 0th hours,1st hours, 2nd hours,3rd hours and 4th hours during three weeks of the trial of the participants.
